Purchase of land to establish a new generation of farmers dedicated to organic agriculture

The Terre de Liens Foundation is recognized as a public-interest organization by government decree. This means that the government considers Terre de Liens to be fulfilling a public-interest mission by preserving farmland, which benefits farmers, citizens, and future generations alike.

Our activities are conducted with complete financial transparency: our financial statements, audited annually by a certified public accountant, are available online and upon request.

OUR ACTIONS:

• - We purchase land and preserve its agricultural use  
• - We help establish a new generation of farmers on a sustainable basis
• - We develop small-scale farming that respects the soil and biodiversity
• - We ensure the production of organic, local, and affordable food

BY THE NUMBERS

- More than 420 Terre de Liens farms acquired and supported provide citizens with healthy, local products distributed through short supply chains.

- More than 800 established farmers practice organic farming without pesticides to protect our health and that of future generations.

- Over 13,000 hectares of preserved farmland where we care for the soil, water, and biodiversity to build resilience against climate change.

TESTIMONIAL

“The model we’ve created today at the Trévero farm, thanks in large part to Terre de Liens, seems to us to be a positive one in that we’ve managed to restore livestock farming to its rightful place. This is a huge challenge for agriculture today. And we’ve managed to create ten jobs in six years on a farm in the middle of the countryside. It’s something we’re very proud of. We feel like we really have solutions to offer.”
